Hope River Farm is managed by Nancy Sanderson who grew up on a mixed farm in rural Saskatchewan. As the eldest of four she spent hours 'learning from dad' how to do everything from swing a hammer to castrate a bull. Further study in Environmental Science and Veterinary Technology, as well as a Red Seal in Cabinetmaking have all contributed to her 'jack of all trades' skill-set.
Nancy is assisted on the farm by Ken and Kaley, as well as many helpful neighbours, friends and volunteers who instinctively show up when you need them the most.
